Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Car Navuhodonosor naèini zlatan lik, kojemu visina bješe šezdeset lakata, a širina šest lakata; i namjesti ga u polju Duri u zemlji Vavilonskoj.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
I posla car Navuhodonosor da saberu knezove, upravitelje i vojvode, starješine, riznièare, sudije, nastojnike i sve vlastelje zemaljske, da doðu da se osveti lik što ga postavi car Navuhodonosor.
3 Then the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Tada se skupiše knezovi, upravitelji i vojvode, starješine, riznièari, sudije, nastojnici, i svi vlastelji zemaljski, da se osveti lik što ga postavi car Navuhodonosor; i stadoše pred likom što ga postavi Navuhodonosor.
4 Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
A glasnik povika iza glasa: narodi, plemena i jezici, vama se govori.
5 that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
Kad èujete rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire, pjevanje i svakojake svirke, popadajte i poklonite se zlatnomu liku, koji postavi car Navuhodonosor.
6 Whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”
A ko ne bi pao i poklonio se, onaj èas biæe baèen u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Zato svi narodi kako èuše rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire i svakojake svirke, popadaše svi narodi, plemena i jezici, i pokloniše se zlatnome liku koji postavi car Navuhodonosor.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near and brought accusation against the Jews.
A neki Haldeji taj èas doðoše i tužiše Jevreje,
9 They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!
I progovoriše i rekoše caru Navuhodonosoru: care, da si živ dovijeka!
10 You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music shall fall down and worship the golden image;
Ti si, care, zapovjedio, svaki ko èuje rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire, i pjevanje i svakojake svirke, da padne i pokloni se zlatnome liku;
11 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
A ko ne bi pao i poklonio se, da se baci u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They do not serve your gods, and do not worship the golden image which you have set up.”
A imaju ljudi Jevreji, koje si postavio nad poslovima zemlje Vavilonske, Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago; ti ljudi, care, ne haju za te, ne poštuju tvojih bogova, i ne klanjaju se zlatnom liku, koji si postavio.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.
Tada Navuhodonosor u gnjevu i ljutini zapovjedi da dovedu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga. I dovedoše te ljude pred cara.
14 Nebuchadnezzar answered them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods and you do not worship the golden image which I have set up?
Navuhodonosor progovori i reèe im: je li istina, Sedraše, Misaše i Avdenago, da vi ne služite mojim bogovima i da se ne klanjate zlatnome liku koji postavih?
15 Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you do not worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god who will deliver you out of my hands?”
Jeste li dakle gotovi, kad èujete rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire i pjevanje i svakojake svirke, da padnete i poklonite se liku koji naèinih? ako li se ne poklonite, onaj èas biæete baèeni u peæ ognjenu užarenu; a koji je bog što æe vas izbaviti iz mojih ruku?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
Odgovoriše Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago, i rekoše caru Navuhodonosoru: nije nam trijebe da ti odgovorimo na to.
17 If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
Evo, Bog naš, kojemu mi služimo, može nas izbaviti iz peæi ognjene užarene; i izbaviæe nas iz tvojih ruku, care.
18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”
A i da ne bi, znaj, care, da bogovima tvojim neæemo služiti niti æemo se pokloniti zlatnom liku, koji si postavio.
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
Tada se Navuhodonosor napuni gnjeva, i lice mu se promijeni na Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, i odgovarajuæi zapovjedi da se užari peæ sedam puta veæma nego što bješe obièaj.
20 He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
I zapovjedi najjaèim ljudima što bijahu u vojsci njegovoj da svežu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, i da ih bace u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
21 Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
Tada svezaše one ljude u plaštima njihovijem i u obuæi i pod kapama i u svemu odijelu njihovu, i baciše ih u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Kako zapovijest careva bješe hitna i peæ vrlo užarena, plamen ognjeni ubi one ljude koji bacahu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga.
23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
A ta tri èovjeka, Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago, padoše usred peæi ognjene užarene.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, “Did not we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king, “True, O king.”
Tada se prepade car Navuhodonosor, i brže ustav progovori i reèe svojim dvoranima: ne bacismo li tri èovjeka svezana u oganj? Odgovoriše i rekoše caru: da, care.
25 He answered, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”
Odgovori i reèe: eno, vidim èetiri èovjeka odriješena gdje hode posred ognja i nije im ništa, i èetvrti kao da je sin Božji.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire.
Tada pristupi Navuhodonosor na vrata ognjenoj peæi užarenoj, i progovori i reèe: Sedraše, Misaše i Avdenago, sluge Boga višnjega, izidite i hodite. Tada Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago izidoše isred ognja.
27 The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head was not singed. Their pants were not changed. The smell of fire was not even on them.
I sabraše se knezovi i upravitelji i vojvode i vijeænici carevi, i vidješe te ljude gdje im tijelu oganj ništa ne može, niti im se kosa na glavi opali, niti im se plašti što promijeniše, niti zadah od ognja prionu za njih.
28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god except their own God.
Progovori Navuhodonosor i reèe: da je blagosloven Bog Sedrahov, Misahov i Avdenagov, koji posla anðela svojega i izbavi sluge svoje, koje se u nj pouzdaše i ne poslušaše zapovijesti careve i dadoše tjelesa svoja da ne bi služili niti se poklonili drugom bogu osim svojega Boga.
29 Therefore I make a decree that every people, nation, and language which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill, because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”
Zato zapovijedam da se svaki kojega mu drago naroda i plemena i jezika, koji bi pohulio na Boga Sedrahova, Misahova i Avdenagova, da se isijeèe i kuæa da mu bude bunište, jer nema drugoga boga koji može tako izbaviti.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Tada car uzvisi Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga u zemlji Vavilonskoj.
